The Taliban government in Kabul called the decision “unacceptable” while maintaining that Afghans were not to blame for Pakistan’s security problems. “We have to make Pakistan an investment-friendly country,” Achakzai told a news conference at a local hotel in Karachi. “We have decided to expel the illegal immigrants once and for all,” he added. In response to a question, Achakzai said Pakistan would also keep the finger prints of all illegal immigrants while deporting them to prevent their return. “But now we have decided that sending back illegal immigrants is our state policy and we will not tolerate any pressure on us on the basis of this.”
